# Guides to agency commission, contracts and tax

The short answer

Before you sign with any agency, know three things in writing: the commission and whether it is worked out on gross or net earnings, how long the agreement runs and how to leave, and that payouts come straight to you. UK creators also need to understand when HMRC expects them to register for Self Assessment.

These guides explain the money side of working with an agency in plain English, with worked examples using made-up round numbers. They are general information, not legal, tax or financial advice.
